Answer:
You can solve it by substitution or elimination.
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x+4y=-8
x-2y=1
Im gonna use substitution because it seems easier with the numbers given.
To do so you have to solve for a variable i solved for x in the second equation.
x-2y=1
+2y +2y
x=2y+1
You have to plug this into the x in the other equation.
-2(2y+1)=-8
Simplify the equation by using the distributive property.
-4y-2=-8
isolate the variable:
+2 +2
-4y=-6
isolate the variable by using division.
y=-6/-4
y=3/2
Plug this into the y of one of the equations and solve for the x.
